Can engine year be older?

if it’s not explicitly banned…

but why would you want to?

Well, from a lore perspective, it makes sense. No use in developing a new engine for '98 if your company has an adequate existing design from just a few years prior, especially for shitboxes budget cars like these.

The Tomodachi NeoRetro
Yes You Can!

The NeoRetro can do it all. This rear-wheel drive hot hatch, powered by a 2.5 liter turbo engine, produces up to 177bhp yet returns a remarkable 6.3 liters/100km. The NeoRetro features luxuries such as a 5-speed smart automatic transmission and ESC ensuring smooth and predictable performance in any terrain, and all for just 104,000 Markka. So if you are wondering, “Can I afford all of this?” Tomodachi says, “Yes you can!”

MSRP: 104,000 Markka (€17,500)

Oh, and it “supposedly” big dial that says “Heater” inside, specifically for the Scandinavian market.


Some Lore

The Tomodachi Motor company was in a tough position in the 90s. While its small 2,400cc 4x4s was received well in the domestic market in the late 80s, an aging design caused sales to tank in the early 90s. Stricter emissions standards both in Europe and Japan meant while larger corporations like Honto and Doyata were able to cope, Tomodachi with its limited funds could not purchase the tooling necessary to change both body and engine. To cope, President Director Yasuhiro along with his team of designers made the decision to develop a new engine that could exceed the Euro 2 emissions standard while remaining below the 2500cc domestic tax limit; at the same time the company tweaked their older 4x4 body to create a high riding hatchback and, like the VUU Bugface, branded it as “retro”. True to Tomodachi’s philosophy, the car aimed to give its customers more while maintaining good reliability (at the expense of some quality). Thus, the “NeoRetro” was born, a budget rwd hot hatch based off a small 4x4 that could surprisingly do some mild off-roading.


Note from Author

Hi guys! I’m new around here and was wondering, how do I message the .car file? I don’t see a message button on anyone’s avatar. I’m pretty stoked to contribute to the CSR challenge, and apologies if I made any mistakes in my post.

You seem fairly new, 1 hour old at time of writing this, go into their profile picture, click on it and you will see message with an associating envelope icon. However I am very unsure how to obtain it. I think it’s a certain amount of messages to unlock the basic badge. Talk with the members on the forum for a bit and you’d unlock it.

Thanks! Yeah I’ve been playing Automation since pre-unreal engine times. But I’ve only found the forum a few days ago. Will try to get the other members approval.

Just a reminder, you have crammed a lot of stuff into your car for that price. I don’t say that it’s impossible, I just want to make sure that you have checked price in sandbox mode and not in campaign mode, since I once recieved an entry in one of my competitions that surely was one of the best but also exceeded the price limit by great margins, since the user had checked the price out in campaign and not sandbox mode.

Does the customer prefer AWD?

i think the customer likes the advantages of awd but you still have to balance that with the extra cost and (possible) realism penalty
